How to delete versioned files

Hello everyone,

ownCloud deals with a trashbin and versioning files which is really great.
I’m running the latest version of ownCloud (as of now 10.3.2) and I can’t find within the web interface in the files section a way to delete the versioned files for a specific document. I know there is a versioning policy to deal with it on the admin side but I’m more concerned about my users and their wish to delete the versions they want.
Does anyone know how to do that ? I can’t find any documentation related to it but the one about occ. That’s way not user friendly for basic users though. I’m surprised that you can restore versioned files but not delete them like with the trashbin.
Thanks.

I just had a look in the code, and I am afraid there is no such feature.

ATM you only can manage the retention policy and delete ALL (!) versions for a user - as you already found out.

So your original idea, letting users delete single versions of any file would be a feature request.

Hi @cortho,

thanks for the feedback, then I’ll open an issue, it seems to me like a fair feature for the end users.
